get too big for his boots back when his father was still the Prince of Wales.In an excerpt from his upcoming book, “Catherine, the Princess of Wales,” obtained by the Mirror, Jobson recalled one particular incident involving William and his wife, Kate Middleton, asking to join Charles and Camilla’s security convoy to leave Windsor Castle.William’s request did not sit right with Camilla, who along with her husband made the Cambridges wait in what Jobson described as a “subtle” jab.In an effort to prove a point to William, Jobson claims that Camilla told Charles to leave the pair behind.“When Charles was kept waiting several minutes for the couple, Camilla insisted they go without them,” Jobson wrote. “As William and Catherine emerged, all they could see were the blue flashing lights of the motorbikes disappearing in the distance.”The Post has reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment.It comes as former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond has noted that Camilla, 77, and William have grown “much closer” in recent months.“They have been left, almost literally, nursing the crown while the king and the princess recover,” she told OK!

Ben Affleck is reportedly eager to take on the role of Hulk Hogan in a new film about the wrestler’s sex tape legal saga with Gawker.Affleck and Matt Damon’s production company Artist Equity are said to be lined up to produce the film, provisionally titled Killing Gawker, with filming set to start in January 2025 (via PWInsider).The film would tell the story of Hogan’s legal battle with the American celebrity blog Gawker, who in 2012 released a clip of a sex tape that the WWE star was not aware was being filmed.Hogan filed a lawsuit against the site, backed by PayPal founder Peter Thiel, who Damon will reportedly portray in the film. The wrestler was eventually rewarded $115million for defamation, loss of privacy and emotional pain, and the saga contributed to Gawker’s eventual demise.The Killing Gawker screenplay was written by Charles Randolph, who picked up an Oscar for The Big Short, and was based on Ryan Holiday’s 2018 book Conspiracy: A True Story of Power, Sex and a Billionaire’s Secret Plot to Destroy a Media Empire, which documented Thiel’s personal vendetta against Gawker for outing him as gay.In 2020, Chris Hemsworth was rumoured to be taking on the role of Hogan in a biopic, but that project has not yet materialised.In other Affleck news, last week, reports emerged that he and Jennifer Lopez are to file for divorce after two years of marriage.It came after Affleck purchased a new $20.5million “bachelor pad” mansion in Pacific Palisades on Wednesday, July 24, the day of Lopez’s 55th birthday.
